Dale Luck is the actual owner of the Lorraine prototype (he still has it). The one in ebay is an early developer kit.


Do you know if it's intact?

8520 CIA -> 6526 (C=64)
Sometimes you can read something about the 6526 "CIAs" in very old early dev.-documents.

I can verify this claim. Dale has the Lorraine prototype. This item on Ebay is not THE Lorraine prototype for sure, but seems genuine.

This is a pre-release developer box, a so called "black box" Amiga.. I hope that is clear by now.

What I'd like to know is, does this require a SAGE machine as a companion to be usable or will it boot up from an Amiga formatted disk.

The kickstart EPROMs look like quite an early revision, so they might contain only a bootstrap that can load stuff over the serial port.

Yeah, but you know some people don't read all comments and one poster earlier was calling it a Lorraine, so I just wanted to make it crystal clear that it's not.

As for the need for a SAGE (IV?), my guess is as yours for the early versions of the dev. system at least. This one comes with a floppy drive so perhaps not? Who knows?

I misread your previous comment for "do you know this for a fact?" Tired. Sigh...

So to answer your comment, as far as I know all the parts are the there, but it's in non-working shape. :-( As you can see from the various photos, it is a nightmare of wire-wraps which easily disconnect and would pretty much force someone to reverse engineer it to reconnect them properly...

Back in my day, we didn\'t have water. We only had Oxygen and Hydrogen, and we\'d just have to shove them together.
